It is getting so if I should be so unfortunate as to find myself in a court like this, that I may have to request an interpreter, as I speak standard English.

Example:

Example:
Judge: Will the witness tell us by which pronouns he wishes to be referred to?
Witness: ??
Interpreter: The judge wants to know if you consider yourself to be a man, a woman, or something else.
Witness: My name is Joe Smith. I am a man.
Interpreter: Your honor, the witness would like pronouns he and him.

There’s already a heavy in-group language and elitist secondary vocabulary associated with social justice. You’re part of the enlightened upper class if you’re “woke”.
